About the event

RSVP TO THIS EVENT HERE
Join us to celebrate the debut book by our dear friend, Tom Cole, Chimes: A Monologue. Tom will appear in conversation with Julia Jarcho. With Jarcho, author of Throw Yourself Away: Writing and Masochism, the two writers will discuss ideas of process, performance, and the environment that brought Chimes to fruition. After their discussion, Tom will take questions from the audience and then sign copies of his book.
This event is free to attend. Please RSVP via the link above.

The incessant and irritating clang of an out-of-town neighbor’s outdoor wind chime punctuates our narrator’s humorous and obsessive self-examinations. His recounts of shame, addiction, and self-destructive behavior swells and snowballs, taking us through the highs and lows of queer reality today. With Julia Jarcho, author of Throw Yourself Away: Writing and Masochism, the two writers will discuss ideas of process, performance, and the environment that brought Chimes to fruition.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase. The event will be followed by a signing.
Tom Cole is a writer, performer, and artist living between the Lower East Side and Kingston, NY. His work has been presented at Partici­pant Inc, Thread Waxing Space, Art on Air, Dixon Place, Clock­tower Gallery, ICA Boston, Performa, Howl Arts, Poetry Project, and the Boston Center for the Arts. He is a three-time MacDowell Playwriting fellow, and an Edward Albee Foundation Playwriting fellow.
